Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you…Oh, it is?

muller-160.jpgIt’s time again for News or Spoof?, the game where I tell you something and you have to say if it’s real news, or just satire. Say I told you a car dealer is giving away a free handgun with every purchase? Yeah, that really happened. But now guess which one of these quotes the car dealer really said:

“I’ve got a gun in my pocket right now. I have a rifle in my truck.”

“We’ve got to shoot the coyotes out here, they’re attacking our cows.”

“Brussels sprouts as we now know them were grown possibly as early as the 1200s in what is now Belgium.”

 ”We all go to church on Sunday and we all carry guns.”

The answer is, he said all of them except the one about Brussels sprouts.

It is refreshing to see Reuters shill in support of handguns. It is about time if you ask me.
